I decided to post this today because I'm going to be busy tomorrow. Enjoy.

After resting until noon, the Midnight Fighters came together to talk about plans and back-up plans, in case if something went wrong. Mostly, their plans relied on them staying together and fighting or sneaking up on the enemy, especially if one person becomes the distraction and the others attack out of nowhere. Afterward, the Midnight Fighters prepared themselves for the night ahead.

-In Penelope's place: Near Night-

"What should we do? We almost had them." -Max

"We'll get those fools this time." -Brian

"Let's be cautious." -Penelope

"Why? You saw them. They ran for the hills." -Max

"They were both guys. Before it was one guy and one girl, but last night it was two guys." -Penelope

"That means..." -Brian

"What does it mean? I don't get it." -Max

"It means there are more of them we are dealing with you idiot." -Brian

(Brian smacks Max on the back of his head, but not too hard.)

"Oh... and ouch." -Max

"We can't let them escape this time. We attack them tonight, or I'll attack both of YOU instead." -Penelope

"... Yes Penelope." -Max and Brian

(They salute Penelope, as she walks away.)

"We're gonna die." -Max

(Brian smacks Max over the head but harder.)

"OUCH!" -Max

-Night: Five minutes before 12:00-

The Midnight Fighters were able to sneak into the guard's room without being spotted by Max and Brian on the first floor, especially Foxy since he was to be a 'surprise attack.' For this confrontation, Lily sat on one of the seats near the middle of the desk, Foxy stood under the table hiding since the front of the table was covered from view, and Mike and Ethan stood behind Lily near the corner walls of the room with their shotguns on hand. Lily's magnum was on her side holster that stood on her belt with her shotgun strapped on her back, and Foxy had removed the black covering off of his hook, ready to strike.

When the clock stroke twelve, Lily checked the cameras to see where the animatronics were. Max and Brian stood near the entrance of the first floor door to the stairway, and Penelope was already at the stairway. Lily looked forward towards the dark void down the hallway, and then she pressed on the hall light. Mike held in a yelp, Ethan looked on with a more stern expression, and Lily had a stoic expression when they saw Penelope standing halfway down the hall with dark eyes.

Lily breathed in and out, and then she breathed in again and asked,

"Penelope Poodle, may we please have a moment to speak to one another? A 'heart to heart,' if you don't mind?"

Penelope's eyes narrowed, but then they opened up and turned back into their normal pink ones as she lowered her head slightly.

"Lower weapons, and turn off the light," Penelope instructed in a deep, feminine voice that held a pinch of robotic static in it.

Lily nodded and she turned off the light, as Mike and Ethan lowered their guns so that they held them with one hand. After a moment, Lily heard clanking sounds as they stopped, and then she saw Penelope's head slowly emerge from the darkness of the hallway, as Penelope slowly stepped into the room. Penelope stood in front of the desk, but not too close, and said,

"It's not very often that a person would want to speak to my kind. It's rare, but you don't seem normal."

Lily said, "After all I've seen and heard, I don't consider myself normal either."

Penelope chuckled, and then she asked, "So, what is on your mind that you would want to talk? Besides probably wanting to break us?"

"I want to know if you have been killing the night guards, and for what reason. Maybe we can compromise so that the night guards won't be killed anymore," Lily replied.

Penelope raised an eyebrow, and then she started to chuckle and laugh out loud.

"What can you people do for me? Can you go back in time? Can you erase the past and change the present? There is nothing that you people can do to suppress my urge for blood to be spilled. I do as I please and I don't need to compromise with anyone, especially little vermin like yourselves," Penelope said.

Then Penelope's eyes darkened, and her body extended a little taller as she crouched a little bit, and lifted her hands up to show three claws on each of her hands spiking up from the fingertips.

"You know almost to nothing of what lurks in the shadows, of what creeps in the dark, of what scampers and scurries through the shades of midnight until dawn... there is no peace for those who dare to tread within our walls... no safety for those who think they are brave enough to try... only survival," Penelope said, as her toothy grin became wider.

Although nervous, Ethan, Mike, and Lily were able to stand their grounds and keep their composure. Then Penelope continued and said,

"So let me ask you this dearies... Can you survive THIS NIGHT?!"

Penelope extended forward, as she reached with one of her claws towards Lily in an attempt to grab her. Ethan and Mike pulled up their weapons and Lily pushed herself back with the wheeling chair that she sat on. However, Penelope was surprised to see something jump up from under the desk and grab her hand, which halted her attack.

"You... red fox of Freddy's," Penelope said, surprised, as she was able to recognize Foxy while he held her attacking claw with his hand by her wrist.

"How'd ye know where me come from?" Foxy asked, as he and Penelope struggled for control with their arms.

"I know many things being the head of my place. Freddy knows of us as well since he is head of your own place. Well, you used to have your own place. Hmph. So sorry to hear that it's been closed," Penelope said, emphasizing her last sentence with sarcasm and a smile.

"Do not consider yerself 't be any different soon," Foxy said, with a slight smile on his face.

"HA HA HA! You speak like the bold pirate that you show, but behind that hook..." Penelope said, as she brought her face closer to Foxy's with her fully darkened eyes, and whispered,

"I see a sad little boy who hides behind a curtain of guilt and despair!"

Foxy's eyes widened in surprise, and then Penelope tried to attack him with her other clawed hand. However, Foxy was able to stop her attack with his hooked hand, and they both stood struggling for control.

Ethan and Mike were unsure if they should shoot, and Lily stood up from her chair in surprise. Then Lily looked towards the camera monitor on the desk, and she saw that Max and Brian were on the move towards them.

'We can't fight all three of them at once. Penelope is too strong just on her own. Foxy won't last long holding her back either,' Lily thought, as she saw that Penelope was actually pushing Foxy back with more ease than expected.

'Why... is... she... so... powerful?! Almost... like... Freddy's strength... but more...' Foxy thought, as he struggled to hold Penelope back.

"What's the matter pirate fox? Can't handle the pressure of the wind on your sails?" Penelope taunted, as her mouth opened wider, showing that she was getting ready to bite.

Foxy tried to hold her back a little longer, and then clicking was heard near the sides of himself and Penelope. Two shots were fired, as Penelope pulled back away from Foxy, while he let go of her wrist. Ethan and Mike were able to shoot Penelope on the sides of her face so that she would release Foxy.

"Let's go!" Lily called out to the three, as she stood in the open doorway of the door that was in the back of the room.

Ethan, Mike, and Foxy immediately followed Lily through the door to escape Penelope.

Max and Brian were able to make it into the room, as they saw that Penelope had her hands on her face, although she wasn't screaming in pain or anything.

"What happened?" Max asked, as he saw that Penelope was covering her face, and that the back door was open.

"They escaped? Why are you letting them go?" Brian asked, although he took a step back cautiously.

Penelope started to giggle, chuckle, and then laugh almost uncontrollably, as she kept her hands on her face, which made Brian and Max nervous. Then Penelope removed her hands from her face to reveal that her face was not punctured by the bullets, and the bullets actually fell off from her face into her hands.

"I feel sorry for them... thinking that it was sooo easy to get rid of me... Well, let's see what will happen to the prey now... after all... I enjoy the CHASE!" Penelope said, as she dropped the bullets to the ground by turning over her hands.

"Take no prisoners... in 3..." Penelope said, as she walked over the desk and stood in front of the open door, while Brian and Max stood ready behind her.

"2..."

"1..."

"GO!" Penelope instructed in a dark and twisted voice, as she charged forward, while Brian and Max followed.
